I jumped into this book after seeing some other friends on bookstagram say they enjoyed it. AND THEY WERE ALL SO RIGHT. This book was so, so, so good! I didn't expect to fall so into a reverse harem, as the contemporary ones I've read tend to have a lack of real character development/outer story building. This book, however, does it all. We have amazing characters, a great story that doesn't detract from relationship building, and each character gets to go through their own growth. The steamy scenes are pretty great, considering we're juggling four MCs. They were perhaps more tame than I anticipated (considering Luke was supposed to have a super dominant sexual side...it was more like a sorta bossy guy narrating ). I will be going forth a devouring all of Lily Gold's other books.
